A quick note about restaurants~ This is one example of where lowering your price can come into play. It's been a million years since I've worked a restaurant, so maybe someone more up to date can chime in here, but this is the type of venue where you can negotiate "perks". I.e. meal at the end...

Restaurants are a great venue to get your start, to be sure. Basically, I would barter/trade/volunteer until I'm ready to approach a restaurant for a fee. It's the same for my Corporate Events or VIP Parties- these are the end goals, not the starting ones. Does that make sense? If you feel...

Thanks for the kind words! That means a lot- truly. ~jamie P.S. Which signature has the "C" problem? I couldn't see where...

No problem, My answer to you is- and I'm not trying to be be negative in any way, shape, or form, is "No." But (for the most part) I wouldn't hire a 14 year old for any price. That's nothing against teenagers, lol, but rather how I feel about entering the marketplace. Are you sure you're ready...

Lol, I almost scanned four cheques from University gigs I just did (one was for a librarian society- who were super rowdy, lol!) but it's no problem for me. I'm only offering advice- it's no skin off my nose whether you believe it or not. I do, however, appreciate you commenting. Commenting...

The single most important thing you can do... Essay #2 Cut and Paste all correspondence into a Word doc first. No kidding. I receive a ton of e-mails from people looking for advice and, to be honest, the spelling is brutal. Now don't get me wrong- on forums and whatnot, we all cut grammar...

Hi Mehar, I personally feel, and this is just my opinion mind you, that this isn't a great idea. Here's the thing, and I hope a lot of people starting out will read this. Precedent: Any act, decision, or case that serves as a guide or justification for subsequent situations. What that means...

Just because, Before: Mehar wants to have each and every one of his show’s to be catered to your needs. Wether it’s in a dark hall, a summer charity event, or a private party in your apartment; Mehar delivers an hour of close-up magic. His tricks range from flicking a card and it changing in a...

Hiya Gang, I just read another thread about rates and thought I'd repost this here (I wrote this on another forum 4 years ago) with some updates. 2 things right off the bat, though: 1) Never undercharge 2) You don't have the event booked until the 50 % deposit has been deposited into your...

I can't believe there's only 10 days left! ~jamie d. grant http://www.professional-magician.com/

Great idea! Magic Friday is my review blog- whereby I take a single effect out into the world and perform it all day, then talk about how it went. & Professional-Magician is the home of the "Send Wonder" Campaign- wehre I give away a limited edition "Anything Is Possible" bottle every...

Well, Day 79 today. I can't believe how fast this has gone by. This picture is why I do it. http://www.professional-magician.com/

This month bottles well be dropped in Kuala Lumpur, Atlanta, Ireland, Edmonton, Spain, & South Africa! Crazy!

Thanks JB- you guys are awesome! It's been (to put it mildly) logistically challenging, lol, to keep up on all the forums on a day to day basis- and I'm pretty sure everyone doesn't want to see updates every single day so if you're interested, you can always see the latest at...
